Putnam Middle School, whose seventh and eighth graders were proposed to go to Woodlawn next year, will also remain open.

Other changes include:

Norwood Elementary School will no longer go to Phillips Academy; the old Kirby Middle School will reopen for Norwood and Lewis Elementary students.

South Hampton Elementary will become a K-8 school to accommodate the Daniel Payne Middle School students, who were going to Carver under the old plan.

Jackson and Hemphill Elementary schools will still be consolidated, but now on the Hemphill Elementary site instead of Jackson.

"Community support is a crucial part of our success, and it is important for us to hear the concerns of our stakeholders," Witherspoon said. "This amended proposal is evidence that we're not only listening to those concerns, but responding to them"

Board President April Williams said she is happy the district took constituents' concerns to heart and revised the plan. That, she said, shows true leadership.

"It is essential, as we move forward, that the community remains engaged," she said.

The board is scheduled to vote on the plan Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. at central office, 2015 Park Place.

"It is my hope on Tuesday that the board will approve the plan as it has been revised," Williams said. "The changes clearly reflect the concerns we heard."
